Across the three campuses, COSM boasts state-of-the-art teaching and research labs, including those in support of geospatial technology, the Core Research Lab (CCRL), the Genomics Core Lab, a mass spectrometry suite, and additional instrumentation in support of our faculty members' diverse research interests and to facilitate their numerous collaborations.

In 2018, Armstrong State University and Georgia Southern University consolidated, creating an institution that retained the Georgia Southern University name. The University is comprised of ten colleges on three campuses: the Statesboro Campus, the Armstrong Campus in Savannah, and the Liberty Campus in Hinesville. The University serves nearly 26,000 students and offers an attractive campus environment that encourages learning, discovery, and personal growth. Nationally accredited academic programs prepare diverse scholars for leadership and service as working citizens. A unit of the University System of Georgia, the University boasts 300 plus student organizations, outstanding Division I athletics, state-of-the-art residence halls and campus facilities. As a public Carnegie Doctoral/R2 institution with a Public Impact Research mission that focuses on community engagement, economic support, and professional development, Georgia Southern is the state's largest and most comprehensive center of higher education south of Atlanta offering 138 degree programs at the associate's, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels.
